Of course, similiar is the key word here. :) But see below.

Yes, so do I. The boundaries of the sea vary from season to season,and even form day to day. There are empty patches of clear air amidst the fogs.

Well, they arenot really because he parallell is not direct, but derivitive. Nonetheless, I quibble.

The fog can remain, stanting still sometimes.

Yes, absolutely correct.

Yes, I agree here.
